Do I Have HIV? / Re: ARS symptoms next day ?

Hello I was wondering is it possible to get ARS symptoms the next day or two after exposure

No. After sexual exposure, it takes the better part of a week for HIV to take hold, let alone for your immune response to cause any symptoms. The majority of people will have no or no noticeable initial symptoms.

I had vaginal sex with a girl from Moscow , Russia . I asked her about HIV she is a doctor ( gynaecologist) and says she is regularly tested due to her profession  and has no infections . She offered to show me but obviously I can’t read Russian .

Even if she tested the day beforehand and showed you a test result in English it would mean nothing whatsoever due to the window period and a few other reasons.

I am presuming this was condomless intercourse. 

Condomless intercourse is an HIV risk, test to confirm your HIV status at six weeks post your last potential exposure with a blood-draw (lab) HIV antibody test. The result at this time will rarely change, and retesting at three months is generally not needed. Also, I recommend you talk to the doctor about PrEP, condom usage and vaccination against HPV + Hepatitis A& B.

Do I Have HIV? / Re: A situation

No.

Relax, and move on with your life.

Use condoms for any intercourse, consider PrEP as an additional layer of HIV prevention and as you are sexually active get an STI screening at least yearly out of standard routine. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about getting vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Do I Have HIV? / Re: A situation

Thanks Jim. Read and understood.
One last thing : i recently was masturbating along with another guy.
He came suddenly, and his semen touched the head of my penis while i was enjoying myself - a huge quantity. I continued to masturbate with his fluids on my hand and penis. Is that a hiv risk ?

Questions About Treatment & Side Effects / Re: Polyneuropathy, better without NRTIs ?
« Last post by ad2san on April 28, 2024, 10:53:26 am »
So short update about new treatment (Juluca) since December. It works quite well, no side effects at all, very small pill ... weight stable (slight decrease in fact .. despite Xmas  ::) )
No effect on Neuropathy, still a burden, together with my knee arthrosis that's killing me ...
Julia very recommendable though

Cheers
